CW Cherry Stout coming...

I had one a month or two ago as well and I do not recall any tartness or sourness. It was pretty delicious!

Edit: no tartness besides a very small amount coming from the cherries. Definitely not infected.

 

This part of your post reeks of misinformation. Care to explain further?

 

I probably could have stated it better. Not every bottle of CW BA stouts are infected, but in my experience, and others I've known, there seem to be significantly higher percentage when compared to other BA stouts. CW announced that they are no longer brewing Peruvian Morning due to this very problem, and we all know how many infection problems there have been in the past.

I'm not sure what else about my post "reeks of misinformation," so perhaps you can be more specific.

 

This is a pretty bold statement and I surely don't want to get in an "argument" over this, but do you have any facts, data compared to other breweries/BA stouts that supports this????

 

Bold? I didn't intend it to be. No, just my experience and others I know. I think I stated that fairly clearly. How many other breweries do you know that had to pull yet another infected batch of their BA stout w/coffee and then announce they will no longer brew it? I'm not ripping on Central Waters, trust me. I'm just stating that CW is probably having problems due to the fact that the base beer is much lower abv than many other BA imperial stouts. Take BCBS, for example. Have you ever heard of an infected BCBS? Before John Laffler left GI, I went to a tasting he spoke at, and he was addressed the fact that they never had worry about the infection risk of adding any fruit or any other ingredient since the base beer from BCBS is well over 10%.

 

Since you've repeated it as fact twice now, I assume you have a link to this announcement you would be happy to share with us?

 

They don't say definitively that they're done brewing it, but if you read through the article, it doesn't look good:

With all the infection problems in the past few years, do you honestly think they can still produce it without making significant changes to the beer?

 

In other words, facts made up based on suppositions? Smells like misinformation to me.

 

Come on, they have a bottle of it hung by a noose in the brewery, and the title is "Peruvian..Mourning the loss of a beer...." lol I think its safe to say they are ready to kill PM. I love CW as much as the next person and I will no doubt continue to support them but they seem to know that they either need to scrap PM or make some drastic changes

 

Exactly. One of CW's beers has been consistently infected over the last 3 years. Not sure how that = "nearly everything".

And besides hearing John Laffler mention something about infection, how can you prove the rest of your post? I said misinformation because people take the internet as gospel, and if statements are made and not tested, they are assumed to be true. You stated, as fact, that barrels/fruit/coffee/base beer that are <7%, are contributors to (or increase risk of) infection.

I'm just asking where those statements are coming from. And after your leading statement of "nearly every CW BA beer is infected" I have a hard time believing your second statement. Educate me.

 

Um, this isn't the infected PM thread, go argue about it in that thread.

Now where the hell is Cherry Stout! It's practically April.

 

I'm starting to doubt that they are even going to bottle this, maybe just keep it all for kegs? Or they are just being extra careful with it and keeping it at the brewery to make sure its not also infected

 

Gotta do something to make the time go by, while waiting for Cherry Stout.

 

The Bruery probably thought that once too...

 

No way, why would they do that?

Look at the picture in the second blog entry...

 

"Next week Saturday, April 5th, we are doing the much anticipatedGuu's on Main tap takeover number 2! The event starts at 6pm, with special tappings at 7pm. We are still working on the draft list, but we should see a flock of 16 or so birds landing there. Special tappings at 7 pm of Bourbon Barrel Cherry Stout and our anniversary beer 16!

We are also working on getting some very limited super secret experimental beers ready for then too...oh yeah, and releasing our Spring Seasonal, Lac Du Bay IPA!!" - CW facebook

some kegs are out there

 

Should I give up now?

 

This thread is infected with idiocy.
